  • Freelance photographer and teacher who is back in hometown Göteborg after some years on the road. My favourite subjects are the human being, its environment and to be able to tell a story.

  • I tend to forget those small important moments in everyday life. The camera lens helps me to remember, so I have something to tell my children, about them and life in general.

  • I speak 4 languages fluently, 2 tentatively and I can understand 3 more languages. After 11 years as a translator I got tired of words just escaping me. I've always preferred pictures anyway. With my studies of art history, painting and art photography I like to say I am a wannabe photoartist, striving to combine my need for escapism with the necessities dictated by reality. I stranded on Öland in 2005 and I am still deeply in love with this captivating island, it's magical light and big skies.

  • Örebro, 98 000 people, the sixth-ranked town in Sweden by population. Here in mid-south Sweden lies my homebase, here is the house where it all happens. I am no photographer. I take pictures with my cellphone and sometimes with my digvid-camera. It’s not art, or is it? I don’t know, I don’t really care. But take care. And be safe.

  • When photographing I enjoy working with all different kinds of projects. Most importantly though is to create images that are different. Different by the way the are perceived. Different by the way they create a reaction. When people feel my images rather than to see them I am happy.

My comissions is very different, and it is my goal as well as my strength, the ability to adapt myself to the circumstances and bring out the interesting / beautiful in all kinds of motives.

  • Jämtland has my heart. Everytime I try to move it calls me back, here I find the peace to create. I studied photography at Brobygrafiska, Sunne and found my true passion there. I've decided to dedicate my time to pictures from whatever technique they will form and think of photographs as small windows - into worlds were everything can happen.

  • In the countryside in the south of Sweden, this is where I grew up. I still think of it as the perfect place to be a child, this was my safe world and it partly made me to who I am today. I remember summers as endless, filled with bare feet, shadows under the big trees and the daily chores at my parents small farm. I became a mother to little baby Iris in June 2009. She will have a different childhood from me, but I wish that she will feel as lucky as I did, growing up at Lövhults Lillegård.

  • I’m a left-eyed photographer born 1975 in Byske, a small town right by the sea, and practically raised on a sailing boat in the Bay of Bothnia. I studied at Gamley School of Photography in 1995-1996. Photography takes me around the world, but home will always be Skellefteå in Västerbotten. I have a fiance and a five year old daughter. We have a big house by the sea and a summer house on a small island. This is where I find inspiration and harmony. I have a background in arts and design, but photography was too powerful to resist. While still working at a swedish record label I started freelancing as a photographer which grew to a full time business in 1999. My clients are usually ad agencies and magazines. I also do exhibitions and books. I use photography to visualize both my own and others stories. My main focus is people and I love shooting in daylight and real situations wether I’m doing commercial, advertising or editorial photography. I always come back to thoughts like “What will I do when I grow up?” But I think I have to realize that photography will always be part of my life, my work and my passion.

  • I was born in 1977 in Västerås, Västmanland. In profession, I am a specialist nurse in psychiatric care and also a PhD-candidate in caring science studying caring in intensive psychiatry. I like people, life and relationships and find the combination of these very interesting which also reflects in my photography. I try to catch a naturalistic perspective in peoples everyday life and their interactions with the others, both as a researcher and as a photographer. As an antagonist from this perspective I also like shooting miserable environments.

  • In my photography I chase the feeling of pensive restrained-melancholy-happy in the almost always so scenic and sometimes so barren landscape of northern Norrbotten. I live in the little village Puoltsa outside the town Kiruna and that is almost as far north you can travel by road in Lapland. This is where I work, often at the same places I try to visit a little less frequently but always ending up not doing. The sometimes desolated impression of this area is not always true, it babbles of life. The viewcamera is a tool and excuse to discover and find out whats behind the next hill.

  • Freelance photographer born in the fall of 1974 and raised on the Swedish mainland. Moved to the island of Gotland 2004. I've been photographing mostly analogue since 1997 but recently i bought a small compact digital camera and for this project i use only that one. Photography for me is to capture my experienced feeling of a favourite moment, for others and the coming generation to take part of. Photos also has some sort of meaning, just study them...

  • I’m Setareh, I come from everywhere and I don’t call myself a photographer. Ever since 2006 I’ve become much more serious about my photography. In my head there are many visions of perfectly executed photographs, but I don’t fully grasp all the technical bits, yet.

    I had several photographs, but returned to this one, of the forest that surrounds my home. I used to take walks there in the evenings, sometimes at night.

  • Jag är inte en fotograf, även om jag gått min beskärda del av fotokurser och haft min tid i mörkerrummen, (och har en systemkamera i garderoben.) Jag animerar, illustrerar, bildbehandlar, bland annat. Jag bor inte längre där, men har flyttat närmare och bor nästan på gränsen till södermanlands län. Min familj bor kvar. Jag tänkte använda mig av fotoprojektet för att återupptäcka det gamla och även hitta nya platser. Jag vill få en anledning att resa tillbaka då och då.
